A skier moving at 4.75 m/s encounters a long, rough, horizontal patch of snow having a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.220

with her skis. how far does she travel on this patch before stopping?

First we need to find the acceleration of the skier on the rough patch of snow.
We are only concerned with the horizontal direction, since the skier is moving in this direction, so we can neglect forces that do not act in this direction. So we have only one horizontal force acting on the skier: the frictional force, \mu m g. For Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the skier must be equal to ma (mass per acceleration), so we can write:
ma=-\mu m g
Where the negative sign is due to the fact the friction is directed against the motion of the skier.
Simplifying and solving, we find the value of the acceleration:
a=-(0.220)(9.81 m/s^2)=-2.16 m/s^2

Now we can use the following relationship to find the distance covered by the skier before stopping, S:
2aS=v_f^2-v_i^2
where v_f=0 is the final speed of the skier and v_i=4.75 m/s is the initial speed. Substituting numbers, we find:
S=- \frac{v_i^2}{2a}=- \frac{(4.75 m/s)^2}{2(-2.16 m/s^2)}=5.23 m

ki77a [65]

Answer:

θ = 22.2

Explanation:

This is a diffraction exercise

        a sin θ = m λ

The extension of the third zero is requested (m = 3)

They indicate the wavelength  λ = 630 nm = 630 10⁻⁹ m and the width of the slit  a = 5 10⁻⁶ m

         sin  θ = m λ / a

         sin  θ = 3 630 10⁻⁹ / 5 10⁻⁶

         sin  θ = 3.78 10⁻¹ = 0.378

          θ = sin⁻¹  0.378

         

to better see the result let's find the angle in radians

          θ = 0.3876 rad

let's reduce to degrees

         θ = 0.3876 rad (180º /π rad)

         θ = 22.2º

A current of 16.0 mA is maintained in a single circular loop of 1.90 m circumference. A magnetic field of 0.790 T is directed pa
pav-90 [236]

Answer

given,

current (I) = 16 mA

circumference of the circular loop (S)= 1.90 m

Magnetic field (B)= 0.790 T

S = 2 π r

1.9 = 2 π r

r = 0.3024 m

a) magnetic moment of loop

    M= I A

    M=16 \times 10^{-3} \times \pi \times r^2

   M=16 \times 10^{-3} \times \pi \times 0.3024^2

   M=4.59 \times 10^{-3}\ A m^2

b)  torque exerted in the loop

 \tau = M\ B

 \tau = 4.59 \times 10^{-3}\times 0.79

 \tau = 3.63 \times 10^{-3} N.m

9. a. Determine the mass of a football which has a weight of 0.80 N on a planet where the gravitational field strength is 2 N/kg
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

m = 0.4 [kg]

Explanation:

Weight is considered as a force and this is equal to the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

W=m*g\\

where:

W = weight = 0.8 [N]

m = mass [kg]

g = gravity acceleration 2[N/kg]

Therefore:

m=W/g\\m = .8/2\\m = 0.4 [kg]
